  1. Since you have added math conversion. Would it be great if the text can also use the latex code and then convert it immediately? Especially if you are typing on keyboards. You just want to type the math notation in latex code rather than using apple pencil and then convert it one by one....

  2. I'm using the Good Note 6 as an iPad, and I usually take a lot of notes. Please add an Apple Pencil tilt deactivation function in the standard pencil. I want to prevent the writing from getting thicker depending on the tilt because it's uncomfortable to take notes.

  3. Please increase the import size for documents in Android. 250mb is quite short

  4. I wanted to share some feedback and a request for GoodNotes 6. I noticed many users, including myself, are looking forward to a new feature update we’ve seen discussed online. This feature would be incredibly useful for me, especially since I often watch tutorials on YouTube and record them on my iPad Pro 12. When I’m importing content and need to take notes, this feature would be a game changer. I’ve been a fan of GoodNotes 6 since I bought it and have seen it improve over time. I’m really hoping for a smooth integration of this feature in the…

  5. I work on other apps as well and it would be great if our study sets translates to various formats such as excel.

  7. Instead of having a separate color pallet for pens/ highlights/ text, have the option to use colors from one pallet on another tool. Ex: using pen color presets for text or highlighters. I often use the same color in different tools for my notes but in doing so I have to create the same color pallet for each tool.

  8. Please change the flash card mode so we can have both writing mode (that is the mode that doesn’t require the text button in drawing mode) and at the same time paint over what is written.

    It should be the same as the normal notebooks but in the flash card mode.

    Also, it should have templates too, so you can change your flash cards background to for example squared or dotted paper.

    The uploaded file shows the features a flash card should have, the same ones as the notebook.

  9. I usually type notes on my laptop using the text box setting. However if I make changes such as drawing, highlighting etc on the IPad it becomes slightly shifted when looking at it on the laptop. Thank you

  10. Especially the highlighter - this is a standard Powerpoint document exported as a PDF and this is the largest highlighter size! It barely covers the title! Honestly having the maximum being absolutely huge would also be helpful if we may like to shade a whole background with a highlighter colour. Currently to get bigger highlighter regions I make a small rectangle with the highlighter and then select it as an object and enlarge it - I also wish we could adjust the width and height differently in that selection mode!

  11. Remember the last position of the ruler. So if I angle it at 90 degrees and then put it away, when I activate it again it is still vertical or in whatever past position I left it in

  12. It would be great if we could write notes off on the margins for pdfs or have a continuous note taking feature instead of having to add new pages to a document.

  13. Allow users to adjust the pencil's pressure sensitivity. This pencil is hard to write in a solid stroke without the users putting a very strong force. Also polish the stroke's shape so that when it's thicker, the writing will not diffuse. Apple's own pencil stroke will be a great example.

  14. I use GoodNotes 6 to grade student papers just about anywhere and then export the graded pages to a shared Google drive folder per student via the iPadOS files app using a drag and drop motion from GoodNotes to the target folder. It’s very seamless and efficient!…

    …However, the file that’s created in each student folder is named simply as the page number from the GoodNotes notebook from which it came. For example, if I drop and drop page 15 of 32 from a file called “Unit Test A” into a student folder the file in the Google drive destination…

  15. When drawing an arrow freely with the ballpoint pen tool, it would be fantastic if GoodNotes could automatically convert it into a neat, straight arrow. This feature could also adapt to curved arrows, subtly smoothing out the lines without losing the intended shape. For example, if the user creates a zig-zag arrow, the feature would only refine the edges slightly to make it look smoother, without drastically altering the zig-zag style.

    If this doesn’t consume too many resources on the iPad, it would be a great addition to improve the visual appeal of notes, allowing for more polished and professional-looking…

  19. My idea is when the teacher posts a new homework, the students can get a notification on their device. A follow up to this idea is we can get a schedule in the menu. The schedule can show us what homework we have, when it is due and which notebook it is located. In the schedule, students can also write their own dates (e.g. exams, quizzes etc)

  20. When selecting handwritten text, there is this "A" with the text cursor icon which I often confuse with an "AI" function. I think that some other icon would be really helpful to avoid confusion.

    Here is a suggestion for a better icon: https://www.flaticon.com/free-icon/text-editor_2535559

    In the screenshot, I highlighted the problem.
